Commander Kuro (Resanaki NPC)

Commander Kuro is the highest ranking military official in the Ryūkyū Kingdom, second only to King Shō Sen'i himself.

Kuro is a middle-aged man known to be cold, calculating and has held his high rank for almost 20 years. Witnessing the aftermath of Sansei's death, Kuro immediately began to suspect the player characters, seeing as only they were present in said aftermath. Upon returning to the capital, Kuro declared the player characters enemies of the state and has for this reason served as a secondary antagonist in the Resanaki campaign next to the Hanataba squad.

He currently employs a secretary by the name of Katchi, who recently has been covertly subverting him in order to assist the players.

Relationship to Sansei
Prior to the events of the Resanaki campaign, and as evidenced in its prologue, Kuro sought out the retired Sansei at Nirai Kanai numerous times. These visits were always brief and civil conversations over cups of tea. The purpose of them were to recruit Sansei to work closely with him in the government of the Ryūkyū Kingdom. Specifically, Kuro wished for Sansei to be in charge of the military training regiments and teach them his legendary martial arts. Kuro was refused every time.

In 1476, King Sho En died and the shift in power to the new king meant that Kuro once again tried to persuade Sansei to come out of retirement. This time, Kuro swore, it was different and that Sansei's knowledge was needed in the capital more than ever. Again, Kuro was refused.

Following Sansei's assassination, Kuro has outwardly displayed anger, grief and a determination to capture and punish those he believes are responsible.
